Maths software upgrades to Mac support

Maplesoft has ported its flagship product, Maple 10, to run natively on new Apple Macintosh models that feature Intel Core processors.

Maplesoft has ported its flagship product, Maple 10, to run natively on new Apple Macintosh models that feature Intel Core processors.

Unveiled earlier this year, the Intel chips allow Mac users to compute with increased speed and agility.

This new support is part of an all-platform maintenance update to Maple 10, which along with the other products in the Maple range is available from Maplesoft's distributor and support centre in the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia, Adept Scientific.

Maple 10 is the most powerful and intuitive tool for solving complex mathematical problems and creating rich, executable technical documents.

Maple users operating on the Intel-based Mac platform will benefit from significantly reduced start-up times, improved speed in rendering 2D mathematics, and real-time 3D plot manipulation that is both faster and smoother.

All of the capabilities of Maple are fully supported, affording Intel-based Mac users access to all of the same features that PowerPC-based Mac users enjoy.

"Individually, Apple and Intel offer industry-leading products", said Maplesoft CEO Jim Cooper.

"In combination, they enable Mac users to experience the full power of Maple 10".

"With new levels of speed and responsiveness, Maple is proud to provide the highest level of computational power in mathematical modelling today".

According to Dr Paul Bragg, Adept Scientific's Managing Director: "Maple continues to offer the most advanced solutions, the most intuitive interface and the best value for engineers, scientists, financial analysts, teachers and anyone else whose work involves mathematical computations".

"In addition to support for the latest Macintosh platform, maintenance update 10.04 also delivers a number of significant improvements for people running Maple 10 on Windows, Linux and Unix".

These include: converting 2D maths to Maple input; document mode markers; corrected behaviour of higher powers of 2; improved export to HTML with 2D maths equations; and Improvements to the display of procedures written in 2D maths.

Existing Maple 10 users will receive the 10.04 via the update feature in Maple 10; alternatively, it will be available for download from the Adept website.

Customers upgrading from earlier versions of Maple, and new purchasers of the software, will automatically receive this latest version.
